The Bear Went Over The Mountain
By Beck Where I live is very, very rocky – not mountains, really, but just giant outcroppings of rocks and hills – and the other day my kids were outside and I was occupying myself my cleaning up the detrius of winter (its coffee cups and chip bags) when I realized that not one of…
